Title: Speed
Post by: Andy B on 26 October 2014, 23:10:35
Anyone watch Guy Martin in the new series of Speed this evening?

Him & his mate were attempting to beat the world record for a tandem, max miles in 24 hours ...... record set in 1990 by 2 Yanks of just over 500 miles (503?) in 24 hours.
Well worth a watch.  :y :y

Quite agree with all the above and seems a top bloke but i would have thought he would have run the bike on a dyno before shipping it to the US

Next week looks fun, hovercrafts

Yes he does seem a bit lastminute.com. They only built that 2 up pushbike in episode one two weeks before the attempt. Esta will love all the tubes and attachments with the toilet humour In that one ;D

Channel 4 catch up. :y
